I understand your feeling, and the attitude is a bit surprising but i wouldn't say this is That weird.

This is what we call ROCK N ROLL.
Though do it again is not a rock song, there's a Big rock'n'roll feel to it.
However what may be surprising, is that the super star Ayu herself, isn't afraid to end the show this way, compared to what she used to do. Generally, in those cases, the first impressions of a part of the fans can be "wow that was weird.." and then "yeah, actually i was really disappointed with it" (or some might say "it was a revelation to me, i loved it!"). BUUUT. Hey, we didn't get to that point. And it was only for one concert. Which inevitably leads me to the second point :

The first CDL Day was obviously like a big last training before the second day, THE super big ultimate day. I'm not writing the first day's audience was like a test audience, because we're precisely talking about ayu here and that says it all.
Anyway, is it revealing that she even completely forgot the lyrics of "Thank U"? (except Lalalala).

Let's hope for the best today ^^

On a personal note, i'm not sure if i'm completely enthusiastic about her outfits, or her hair, but i don't dislike them either. I just can't wait to see her with everything in motion!!
The circular stage brings a fresh feeling to ayu's ever similar CDL stages, i concede this. But as some wrote earlier, it's not easy to create big surprises popping up with this kind of stage, everything is centered in the middle of the concert hall. The cameras may not move that much, haha. Nevertheless, in the viewpoint of the audience this kind of stage is often much more enjoyable because you can always see everything, wherever you are. And here again it ties up with this rock n roll feel, with this perfect rock stage, surrounded by the fans, in the thick of this (two days) war.
